Went in last night for a late dinner, around 8:00. Â Apparently they have live music on Saturday evenings. Â This was a plus. Â 1 star there.
Been here several times and the service is always hit-or-miss. Â It wasn't terribly busy, for a Saturday night, but the waitresses took a very long time getting to our table, then taking our order, and finally delivering the food. Â
Food is always good, so I'll give 1 star for that. Â
Very clean establishment (It's newly remodeled), clean restrooms, etc. Â 1 star there. Â
So, in addition to the fact that the service is hit-or-miss, I feel that I should comment on the hygiene and general appearance of the waitresses. Â Many of the gals are overweight and wearing clothes that accentuate that. Â Fishnet stockings, short skirts, tight fitting shirts, etc. I think the owner should establish some guidelines for their dress code. Â They don't have to dress fuddy-duddy like old ladies, but come-on, cover up some of that - I don't want to see muffin top hanging out of your shirt, or your thunder thighs jiggling under your fishnets.
I've been to the lake Stevens razzals and enjoyed it there so I wanted to try the new one. Its really nice! We ordered drinks from the bar before deciding on food. The drinks were good, as always. Then we sat down and ordered some food. Our waitress was Desiree, she was fun, quick and efficient. We got our food quickly and it was delicious. One of my favorite spots. This is a great place to eat! Everyone is nice and has a smile on their face. Â I do wish they had outdoor seating, this place would be perfect.
Review Source:*Edited rather than updated... decided it wasn't fair to give these guys only 2 stars when other than prices, my "meh" feeling was more about personal taste than anything (except prices) they're doing wrong. And I haven't even tried their food! Â We'll give 'em another go - for apps & drinks or a meal next time. Â
With that... my original review:
I feel like I should like this place. Â It's spacious, service is good, reasonably good beer selection, several pool tables in good condition (although one's parked by a post that'll screw with your shots throughout the game). Â And three soft-tip boards! Â I don't play the ones they have, but there are a few video games, too, plus TVs running different games. Â And there's music... just be sure to man the juke box if you don't want to be tortured by whatever that is they were playing last night. (Ok... someone reading this would have liked it. Â I might have confessed to anything just to have someone turn it OFF. :P ) Bartender was a doll, and let me sample a couple of new (to me) beers. So what's not to like?
I don't know... maybe it's TOO big. I can see it being a good place to be during a big game, with a really big crowd, but it felt like we were playing pool in the middle of a restaurant (too much so.... kept feeling like we had to be annoying the dinner patrons just on the other side of the wall from our buddy bar) and that restaurant feels a little like Red Robin. Â And after hanging at Ace's, I about keeled over when she rang up our beers at 5.50 each - the cost of a respectable lemon drop at Ace's.
So I guess this is all about taste. Â It isn't that there's anything really *wrong* here (ok... except 5.50 for a friggin' beer!)... just not our style.
Much like the other reviews, my wife and I have enjoyed the ambiance and comfort of Razzals but the enjoyment ends there. Â We have eaten here for dinner 3 times and each time we leave saying maybe they'll do better next time. Â The most recent was on a Sunday night and I ordered their Prime Rib $12.99 special. Â I asked for medium rare and received medium. Â The cut was lacking taste and the sides were unspectacular. Â The waitress asked if I would like the "works" on my twice baked potato which included green onions, bacon bits, ect., only to find out when I received the bill that the "works" is a 1-2 bucks extra. Â My wife ordered the Chicken Bacon Burger which in her words was lacking taste. Â She added extra pepper (which she never does) just for some extra kick. Â The one highlight to our meals were my wife's fries. Â She was willing to share and they were fantastic. Â Razzals is a great locale for drinks with friends to watch the big game if you don't mind paying 4+ dollars for a beer, but it is not necessarily a prime location for a dinner out with the wife or family.
Review Source:Why, oh why don't restaurants have a beverage menu anymore?? You sit down and get the instant "What would you like to drink?".... Â "Uh, uh, uh... I'd like to look at a list rather than have you ramble off a dozen kinds of beer and expect me to choose on the fly."
Anyhoo's, that annoying trend (that is glaringly followed at this sports bar) I can mostly shrug off.
This location was very clean, well decorated, had plenty of sporty tv's and some really decent looking pool tables. Â They even have two tables that are family-friendly.
Our waitress was very nice, although did forget to even offer me the salad/soup that was listed on the menu to come with my meal (no, I didn't complain since we didn't have a lot of time to linger). Â Fries were good and cooked just the way I like em. Â Main eats are obviously pre-made frozen stuff cooked to order. Â
Seriously, how hard is it to make homemade chicken strips?? Â I will say that that they do a good job at deep frying frozen stuff. Â :-)
Will try again, hoping that there is some fabulous item lurking in the menu.
WOW What a gem.  We where surprised to see how nice it was inside  (We have been here before, previous owners)  The whole place has been remodeled!  More tv's than one could look at.  I have nothing but positives to say about this place.  If you haven't checked it out yet, go now!!!
Review Source:this is my place, it is expensive in a way but honestly you come here for the atmosphere....and that means the folks who work here. Â There are three locations, for me the lake stevens location is home as that is where I live.....this is my basement.....the food is decent and depending on who cooks could be extrondinary.....but the owners (tom and lisa) and the manager (bill) tend to forget that raising costs is alright, it is the most expensive place in lake stevens...but they have the market for the ambiance.....and that is what keeps everyone coming in. Â I will alway say, if you don't mind a few extra bucks....and you want great service and feel like you matter....then here it is......
